For 2017, there is not another rewards program, simply because soliciting, documenting, promoting, and distributing the rewards required far too many additional volunteer hours of Bicycling Monterey’s founder to be worthwhile. Nonetheless, we appreciate all of the following for helping us to give it a try.

Thank you to all reward providers!

Rewards FAQS

Bicycling Monterey’s rewards program was from February 26, 2016 to December 31, 2016.

It is not planned to have a Bicycling Monterey rewards program again in 2017, simply because of the large amount of additional volunteer hours it required of Mari. (If anyone wants to volunteer to do the many tasks of a Bicycling Monterey rewards program in the future, contact Mari.)

Some rewards are redeemable at any U.S. location. Many are redeemable only in the Monterey Bay region (if so, that local city is listed with the reward).

Rewards can be mailed anywhere in the U.S.

Gift certificates, gift cards, and other rewards have no cash value, so change is not given.

Gift certificates (paper) cannot be used on more than one visit, unless specified as allowable.

Gift cards (plastic) can be used on more than one visit, unless specified as one-time use.

Gratuity/tip is not included with reward, even if that is not specified. (This applies to rewards where a gratuity/tip is customary, such as restaurants.)

Sales tax is normally not included, even if that is not specified.
